Or simply if you want to use the soundcard, to listen audio.
Even if you want to sleep without hearing your speech synthesizer :-)
(smile).
I changed window while I was getting the sources from CVS, but in a program
compilation the process is more quickly, better to have possibility to
silence speech. Even more would be useful in terminal to press a key, the
synths stop and when no more output is produced the speech comes again
available automatically. I have seen this in some MS-DOS screen readers.
